I’ve heard that so many people have done much worse on AUD than they had expected. Can I ask what people expected vs. the score they got on release day? I felt confident walking out of the exam and am terrified to death. The other 3 parts, I thought I was gonna fail and passed.

I felt confident coming out of my first AUD exam (finished in 2 hours) and expected a mid 80s to low 90s score, based on how unsure I felt coming out of REG and FAR and the scores I ended up with on those. I ended up getting a 73 which I thought was a mistake. When I reread the chapters and worked more MCQs over the next month, I realized how easily one word, or one overlooked fact in a question can drastically change the answer. I felt much more prepared the second time around, but felt far more unsure about my score coming out of that exam (used the entire 4 hours), even though I was moderately confident I did at least 2 points better. I spent more time on MCQs and a lot more time on SIMs, utilizing the AL to research every question to make sure I squeezed every point possible out of each SIM. My results were much more in line with my other 3 exams.

The first time I took AUD, I definitely tried to cram all my studying into a smaller window of time (5 weeks instead of 8), so that could possibly be why I didn't learn as much as I should have the first time. The extra 3-4 weeks study for the retest definitely solidified some concepts that I didn't have a grasp on before the first exam.

AUD is just a different animal than the others.

REG - 89
FAR - 84
AUD - 73, 86
BEC - 89

Check with your state Board…they all seem to be different

I took audit today and it was an awful experience with the sims, not feeling confident at all
